Method 1:
- Take an 8 1/2″ * 11″ paper and cut it in half by a scissor or trimmer.
- Now you have to use a side-folded base card of 4.25″ x 5.5″.
- Now take a 4.25″ x 5.5″ blue-patterned paper and stick it at the front.
- Keep a 2.5″ x 5.5″ stripped-designed paper and paste it on the right side.
- Punch a frame-like design with red ink on a Kraft-colored cardstock of 2.5″ x 3.25″.
- Joint it at the bottom-right corner.
- Now, take black ink and imprint “Number One Dad” in the middle of the red frame.
- Punch a sunglasses on an off-white cardstock with black ink. Carefully cut this image and paste it above the red frame.
- Now, we add a “Hey Handsome” to the card’s top left side to make this card cooler.
- Stamp one star at the joint of blue and striped card and punch two stars at the coordinating line of blue card and red frame.
- Now complete your card by binding baker’s twine around the card’s crease.
Here is your DIY card ready.
Method 2:
- Take a cardstock and stamp the word “DAD” in a big and symmetrical font on it. “DAD” must be 2.5 inches high and 2 inches wide.
- Turn over a printed cardstock and paint on the opposite side. It is essential to dry one color before adding others. You will get a fun design while finishing it.
- Now, spread gesso on your created design.
- In the next step, stamp words by using contrasting colors, but you have to do it after drying the surface.
- When ink is dry, you have to cut out each letter with the help of printed letters to make the word “DAD.” Paste every letter on an adhesive cork sheet and keep the painted side above.
- Now, you can easily cut each letter from the cork sheet.
- Do some detailing to the punched words by using a metallic marker.
- Organize the letters on a blank card.
- The last step is to select and write some wishes among so many father’s day card messages, and there you go.
So, make your own father’s day card to show appreciation to your father.
